 Thaipusam

 Date

5 Feb 2004

 Event & Description

To mark this great day of penance and thanksgiving, Hindus pierce their tongues and cheeks with metal skewers before embarking on a gruelling 4-km procession. Marvel at this dramatic demonstration of faith, where devotees carry ornate kavadis (semi-circular metal frames) on their shoulders or pull chariots with spikes and hooks embedded in their bare bodies, without a drop of blood in sight! Temple etiquette requires visitors to be dressed appropriately and shoes to be removed at the door.
